Funny enuff, took the front and middle panels off yesterday and treated all rubber gaskets for the roof & panels with 303 seal treatment. Today had a deluge for about 30 minutes. Checked, no signs of moisture.

That’s a good idea I’ll have to look into that, thanks. It does make sense that rubber sitting out all the time in the weather isn’t great and will need some refreshing. I did notice a spot at the middle front (near the windshield) when I took the top off and wondered if it was a tear or supposed to be there like a drain. I don’t really believe that was the leak area though. Maybe it was even the windshield
We’ll see what happens. Funny enough my dealership guy just sent an email checking in….
Mine had a leak 1 time shortly after I got it. It was there by the left side arrow. It only happened once though. It was drizzling out, we had no leak sitting still then we pulled forward and boom! It leaked. Never did it again. I no longer have that one so unfortunately I don’t have a better update.Well stupid here should have taken pictures this morning before work when it was wet, now I don’t remember which plastic seam was wet
A new addition! I wasn’t really sure if I’d use a tailgate table enough - and most are expensive - but I found one that was a decent price and decided to take a chance. I wanted the two levels because we take food to fires and other long calls for our department and wanted one level for the condiments and one level to make the sandwiches (etc) on. Happy with how it turned out! And that it was different than pictured on the website in that it has the “since 1966” on it. Was alright to put together, just lots of parts, and thankful I have petite fingers for some of the portions haha
Less than $150 and seems sturdy….well I will make the disclaimer that one of the cords for the upper shelf is too short (I swear they were the same before I put it together...lol) so I’m going to see if they’ll send me a new cord, but I don’t plan on putting anything heavy up there and it seems ok. It is kind of heavy but looking at others it seemed like a similar weight, hopefully it will be ok, seems so.
Oh, and the supplied Allen wrench does a surprisingly good job, though I'd seriously recommend having a set of handy dandy pliers and a 10mm torx wrench with you for successful completion if you want to maintain your sanity (and I need all the help I can get here haha)
Link if anyone's interested, and right now it's cheaper than when I bought it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG5FJ418?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Next up is swapping the 265’s for 285’s and possibly the Borla S-type black exhaust.

Thanks…forgot the other of the “never truly finished” list… looking at the Fishbone Steelhead or DV8 MTO steel rear bumper. The plastic one annoys me

I have 2 things I'd like for my Bronco.Thanks…forgot the other of the “never truly finished” list… looking at the Fishbone Steelhead or DV8 MTO steel rear bumper. The plastic one annoys me
A Corsa exhaust and a 12" screen upgrade lol.
I'm in no rush grabbing either right now
I keep going back and forth between getting some lights over my windshield, I love the look but not sure if I’d use it enough to justify the expense, and the same with a skyrider, but not just the expense on that but where do I put the hard top peices while it’s on (I don’t have a garage 
) and do I really want to install and un install it when cold weather comes…? But I really want it, I’d love to be able to just flip it back and have open air

Took the top off today and treated the seals with that 303 seal treatment stuff as suggested by Wallyworld Ranger 
Sadly it looks like some of the seal on the passenger side roof panel looked kind of sad/cracking already
This fair skinned lass forgot to put on sunscreen and now looks somewhat lobster-esque

Sorry to hear bout the passenger side seal, maybe a conversion with your dealer? As for the lobster-esque comment, my wife asked to take the driver/passenger panels off while taking a 2 hour ride to a family cookout this weekend. No sunscreen & she learned the hard way about the top down life.

Fabulous surprise jumping in my Bronco to run to a rescue call and seeing a 25 psi warning (they’ve been fine I keep an eye on it) long story short this little gem was found 
This is why I like to have an actual spare on my cars.
